Sometimes I want to fly away.. far away..to places where I belong where bad souls never get in..
Beecause the most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It's the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead."
